INTRODUCTION

Climate__________________________________________

The Philippines has five types of climates: tropical rainforest, tropical savanna, tropical monsoon, humid subtropical, and oceanic (both are in high-er-altitude areas) characterized by relatively high temperature, oppressive humidity and plenty of rain-fall. There are two seasons in the country, the wet season and the dry season, based upon the amount of rainfall. This is also dependent on location in the country as some areas experience rain all through-out the year. Based on temperature, the warmest months of the year are March through October; the winter monsoon brings cooler air from November to February. May is the warmest month, and January, the coolest.

The Philippines___________________

The Philippines is one of the world’s largest archipelago nations. It is situated in Southeast Asia in the Western Pacific Ocean. Its islands are classified into three main geographical areas – Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Because of its archipelagic nature, Philippines is a

culturally diverse country. With its topography con-sisting of mountainous terrains, dense forests, plains, and coastal areas, the Philippines is rich in biodiversity. It is considered as one of the mega biodiversity countries in the world with a high percentage of flora and fauna endemism.

The geography__________________________________________

The total area of the Philippines has a total area of about 300,000 sq k. About 298,170 of the total area is land area with the remaining 1,830 being the total water area. The capital and largest city of the Philip-pines is Manila. The Philippine Island group is of volcanic origin and generally mountainous. Running parallel to the coasts, as well as bordering them in many places, the mountain ranges extend north to south. There are about 20 active volcanoes on the islands, and earthquakes are fairly common.

A brief history__________________________________________

The Philippines has a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to Span-ish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese. In 1898, after 350 years and 300 rebel-lions, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their inde-pendence.

In 1898, the Philippines became the first and only colony of the United States. Following the Philip-pine-American War, the United States brought wide-spread education to the islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particular-ly at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor which delayed Japanese advancement and saved Australia. They then waged a guerrilla war against the Japanese from 1941 to 1945. The Philippines regained its independence in 1946.

The Philippines takes its name from Philip II, who was king of Spain during the Spanish colonization of the islands in the 16th century. Because it was under Spanish rule for 333 years and under U.S. tutelage for a further 48 years, the Philippines has many cultural affinities with the West. It is, for example, the second most-populous Asian country (following India) with English as an official language and one of only two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Asia (the other being East Timor). Despite the promi-nence of such Anglo-European cultural characteris-tics, the peoples of the Philippines are Asian in con-sciousness and aspiration.

The people__________________________________________

Filipinos (Filipino: Mga Pilipino) are the people who are native to, or identified with the country of the Philippines. Filipinos come from various ethnolin-guistic groups that are native to the island country. Currently, there are more than 175 ethnolinguistic groups, each with its own language, identi-ty, culture and history. The modern Filipino identity, with its Aus-tronesian roots, was developed in conjunc-tion with Spanish, Chinese and Ameri-can influences.

SEA TOURS

Scuba diving__________________________________________

The Dauin coastline stretches for about 15 kilome-tres with more than 20 dive sites, the greatest major-ity being marine protect areas, and among the oldest conservation projects of the Philippines, to enchant every diving enthusiast with diverse coral gardens and world-renowned muck dives. Muck diving gets its name from the sediment that lies at the bottom of many dive sites, a frequently muddy or “mucky” environment. Dauin’s shore, is defined by a sediment rich volcanic black and warm sand habitat that peculiar marine life thrives on.

The magic lies in the small animals that inhabit this peculiar area. Nowhere else will there be such abun-dant, rare and colourful sea creatures than on a muck dive. Usually juveniles or quite small fish, mol-luscs and crustaceans will be called “macro” from the photography term in which the size of the sub-ject in the photo is greater than life size. The strang-est shapes, the most vibrant colours, unusual patterns and curious behaviour beheld. Ghost pipe-fish, frogfish, nudibranch, squids, cuttlefish, can be spotted on most of the dive sites!

THE DIVE SHOPSea tours__________________________________________

Our guests have the opportunity to take a snor-kelling or diving trip to the famous Apo Island. Locat-ed about 45 minutes from Dauin, Apo Island shelters a great variety of hard and soft corals, nudibranchs,

mantis shrimps, countless reef fish, such as clown fish and parrot fish, banded sea snake, relaxed sea turtles and many more await our guests to greet them. The marine habitat around the island is a marine reserve since 1982, and one of the first in the Philippines.

We’ll sail to Apo Island aboard one of our three bancas, a comfortable traditional Philippines style outrigger pump-boat, followed by the diving and snorkelling sessions with a barbecue lunch break. This trip will thrill beginners as well as more advanced divers or snorkellers as the dive sites are diverse and most of them easily accessible, usually with good visibility and little or no current. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

We also regularly have trips to Sumilon Island, another great underwater experience with a wide coral diversity and a high chance to spot the popu-lar, casual, black tip reef sharks!

Scuba diving__________________________________________

The Dauin coastline stretches for about 15 kilome-tres with more than 20 dive sites, the greatest major-ity being marine protect areas, and among the oldest conservation projects of the Philippines, to enchant every diving enthusiast with diverse coral gardens and world-renowned muck dives. Muck diving gets its name from the sediment that lies at the bottom of many dive sites, a frequently muddy or “mucky” environment. Dauin’s shore, is defined by a sediment rich volcanic black and warm sand habitat that peculiar marine life thrives on.

The magic lies in the small animals that inhabit this peculiar area. Nowhere else will there be such abun-dant, rare and colourful sea creatures than on a muck dive. Usually juveniles or quite small fish, mol-luscs and crustaceans will be called “macro” from the photography term in which the size of the sub-ject in the photo is greater than life size. The strang-est shapes, the most vibrant colours, unusual patterns and curious behaviour beheld. Ghost pipe-fish, frogfish, nudibranch, squids, cuttlefish, can be spotted on most of the dive sites!

Sea tours__________________________________________

Our guests have the opportunity to take a snor-kelling or diving trip to the famous Apo Island. Locat-ed about 45 minutes from Dauin, Apo Island shelters a great variety of hard and soft corals, nudibranchs,

mantis shrimps, countless reef fish, such as clown fish and parrot fish, banded sea snake, relaxed sea turtles and many more await our guests to greet them. The marine habitat around the island is a marine reserve since 1982, and one of the first in the Philippines.

We’ll sail to Apo Island aboard one of our three bancas, a comfortable traditional Philippines style outrigger pump-boat, followed by the diving and snorkelling sessions with a barbecue lunch break. This trip will thrill beginners as well as more advanced divers or snorkellers as the dive sites are diverse and most of them easily accessible, usually with good visibility and little or no current. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

We also regularly have trips to Sumilon Island, another great underwater experience with a wide coral diversity and a high chance to spot the popu-lar, casual, black tip reef sharks!
